The bike above looks good!
My preference is not specific to design but more “results”
reliable…I hardly work on my bikes , can’t lift them and need it to work when I am normally 40-55 miles from home all the time
Maintenance free as much as possible, bike should ooze quality. modular design?
Fast . I would like the ability to cruise at 30-32 mph on flat smooth surface “off road” with much leg power but a slower than average cadence
Brakes that don’t fade at all, not so much into feel but just stopping power
Torque sensor feeling style.
Fenders and rear rack
Light good enough to ride at night without additions and I can independently turn off completely , brake light turn signals , safety first
All weather spare battery holder not in my panniers, removable
Quiet As my older DD hub bikes
Smooth as possible . Don’t know if I want full suspension due to reliability and no experience but don’t need it for getting air just as much comfort as possible
Only electronics needed for ota updates
Accurate speedometer/ odometer
Finger/thumb operated shifting , no auto but electronic is good
Repairs can be done by most shops using nonproprietary parts is a plus but since it is reliable…
All user adjustments available through the setup menu
Throttle which is very useable for slow speed and high speed…take off , a 30 second break but want to keep speed and also get me home I am hurt… hopefully not used much
Prefer diamond style frame but not required
Range of 125 miles at higher speed, 1 battery best more as needed
Able to use a standard ebike rack so I guess 65lbs or less? I would remove all batteries and anything else that comes off but want light weight covers so nothing is exposed to the elements that shouldn’t be
How long would a chain last if was connected to an IGH instead of a belt?
I may come up with more later
Ravi, “TAKE MY MONEY!”
